Definitions of strategy




Gerry Johnson and Kevan Scholes - the direction and scope of an
organization over the long-term, which achieves advantage for the
organization through its configuration of resources within a changing
environment to the needs of markets and fulfill stakeholder
expectations.
Alfred Chandler - the determination of the basic long-term goals and
objectives of an enterprise, and the adoption of courses of action and
the allocation of resources necessary for carrying out these goals.
Bruce Henderson - the deliberate search for a plan of action that will
develop a business’s competitive advantage and compound it.
Michael Porter - the strong focus on profitability not just growth, an
ability to define a unique value proposition, and a willingness to make
tough trade-offs in what not to do.
Key focus of strategy
Strategy is concerned with the long-term direction of the firm.

Strategy deals with the overall plan for deploying the resources
that a firm possesses.
Strategy entails the willingness to make trade-offs, to choose
between different directions and between different ways of
deploying resources.
Strategy is about achieving unique positioning vis-à-vis
competitors.
The central goal of strategy is to achieve sustainable competitive
advantage over rivals and thereby to ensure lasting profitability.
